In my opinion Bowling for Soup is a great band. I love their style of music. I guess if I had to classify them they would be punk/rock. Bowling for Soup is my favorite band and I think it should be everyones. My favorite song of theirs is “Punk Rock 101” it tells a story of a young love that really isn’t love and ends in a bad fight and they both have a bad life.
It’s sad, but it is a good song and I like it.

Video Game Review
My video game review is on Guitar Hero 3:
I think that Guitar Hero 3 is the best game to come out for a while, well the best game to me anyways. I want to know who likes Guitar Hero 3 and why, because the reason why I am asking this question is because I want to know what you think of it. I want to compare it to what I think and to see if I disagree with you or not. I think the best part about the game is that you get to play the songs that you like, you get to play really hard songs, and you get to customize, buy and do anything else to the game and it is really fun. Another thing that I like is that some of the chords are not the same as some of them like some of them don’t have a black ring around it so all you have to do is just strum it once and you can play all of the notes without strumming it again until it gets back to having the black line around the notes.

An Indianapolis-based Christian metalcore band Haste the Day formed in 2001. And In 2002 Haste the Day to Tooth & Nail label’s which produce some of their albums such as burning bridges in the spring of 2004.

Music review
My report is on Linkin Park mainly. I think Linkin Park is a good band to listen to, because they are not a bad influence, they don’t do drugs. They just hang out with each other have parties. And they are coming to concert on March 08, 2008. And I am going to that concert, because my birthday is on March 09, 2008 so listen to these guys. Peace out homey g.

The Artec news!
I think that the schools uniforms should be changed from just the color gray. The reason is because it makes us look like we are boring and unimaginative. It also makes us look like we have no personality and that we are all the same. It also makes us look like we are really juvenile. We look like we don’t take any pride in our appearances. Also we have one less way to show our personalities to the world. I think that we should change it to a white tee shirt and some black khaki pants or shorts. And then leave it that way instead of us keeping on changing it.

THE SUPER-BOWL
The Super-Bowl is this Sunday. The team that deserves to be there the most was knocked out of the playoffs by the New York Giants. The Dallas Cowboys deserve to be at the Super-Bowl, because they have come a long way from last year to get to the playoffs. The Dallas Cowboys were pretty much undefeated. They had it made; there was no reason the Cowboys should have lost. The Dallas Cowboys hold the world record for most Super-Bowl wins. (currently holding five) The Super-Bowl is not even worth watching without the Dallas Cowboys in it.

Video Game
Here is my opinion about video games. They waste your time to be with your family and friends. So put your video games away and go outside and play. Or play a game with your family. But don’t go home and sit and play video games. You will be happy that you went outside. You will be happy that you played a game, or you went outside and played.

Book Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
J.K. Rowling has outdone herself with the final book in the beloved Harry Potter series. I found this book thrilling and adventurous, it left me waiting to read more of it. Harry finally unveils the many secrets and questions that everyone was waiting and guessing about. However, I can honestly say I was happy that the series finally ended. It seemed that Rowling was repeating herself in her books when it comes to the story plot.

Love
By, LaTasha H
Love is a strong word
Only used by people who mean the meaning of the word
So think again before you say those three words to me
Because I truly mean I love you
When I use those three words
I want you to mean it too
So I’m not believing all the lies you have said to me
I love you all
Only if you loved me the same.
movies
Movies are the coolest thing in the world. You can watch anything you want and still have a good time. I have watched so many movies in my life I really don’t have a favorite. One of my favorite movies is the Epic Movie. It is really funny and I love it. When I first watched it I thought it was going to be stupid, but once I got into it I loved it. Except maybe the parents would think it is not good for the little kids, because it has some swearing in it and some other stuff that is not really good. But over all it was good.
Brandi
The notorious group who call themselves
Twiztid are full of surprises with their 1992 album Mostasteless with the hit songs

This is my personal favorite , I thought the songs

It is truly amazing. I give it 4 stars.

The CD that I like the best is 2pac Outlaws Still I Raise. And the name of the song is
The Good Die Yong.The reason that I like this hip/hop rapper is that he raps about
his life growing up. And he also raps poetry things that rhyme about things also.
He died in 1996 and he was a very famous rapper.

Music Review—STEVIE WONDER
Alright…I am choosing to write about my idol, Stevie Wonder. He is a blind, but amazing artist who I believe to have the most meaningful and beautiful lyrics and music ever. My favorite song by him is “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life.” That song has had just about everything to do with why my daddy and I have such a wonderful relationship. In the song it says that “you are the sunshine of my life and I’ll always stay around.” Those words have kept my faith in my daddy strong and I am so thankful for Stevie Wonder’s ability to do what he has done. I truly love him.

What’s hot and WHAT’S NOT for the month of February by Ashley H.
What is hot this month is most definitely the following articles:
☺ Toe socks, why you ask? Because they keep your toes warm and they are very cute.
☺ Leadership is a big one! Leaders get noticed more than those who set a negative example, so be a positive leader!!!!
☺ Shay L. for “her”storian!!!! She will help our school in the positive ways!
☺ Remembering your values, you are a good person! And no one can change that!
☺ Helping others with their treatment goals… if you are helping others you can help yourself!
What is so totally not hot is the following things:
☹ Showing cleavage, BIG TIME NO-NO!
☹ Bringing inappropriate things to our school.
☹ Bossing others around to get what you want, you won’t get anything besides losing your friends.
☹ Trying to tell other people what they are not.
☹ Being rude to others when they need help.
☹ Swearing to peers and staff.
☹Pants lower than the bum bum.
☹ Going to d.t! that sucks!
☹ Asking for help when you don’t give any to others.
☹ GREY SWEATS!!!!!!! GROSS!!!!!

Book Review
Book: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
This was a great book, with a couple unexpected surprises at the end. It’s about time it started to get realistic. I was wondering when their perfect fairy-tale world would meet its downfall. I would advise everyone to read the following sequel. It’s even better!

Book Review
The latest book that I read was Stephen King’s Misery. This was the best Stephen King book that I have read so far. It was about an author that gets kidnapped and taken hostage. This lady named Anne Wilkes holds him and tortures him. She is obsessed with his books and makes him write her a new book. Every time he makes her mad and doesn’t listen to her she makes up some brutal consequence for him. Read this book to find out what these consequences and much more were.
The volleyball tournament is what’s hot this week. According to my watch it's 10:05am, date of 1-30-08 and there is already 7 teams ready to play. Every one better be ready to get their game on. The teams look pretty good and transition is going for another winning strike. Will the other teams be able to take the win? Find out and keep the update on what’s hot and what’s not.
What’s not hot is the snow. I don’t care about the water we may be getting, I’m sick of the snow. Sad to say the forecast says ten more days to go with nothing but snow storms. That sucks. It's time to bring the sun back I’m too cold!
What’s hot the school council running for all kinds of things. Wow! What about Nick’s song, that was hotter than the sun on a hot summer day. I think all them kids did a great job with their speeches.
What’s not hot how the snow boarding kids got snowed in on their snowboarding trip. That must have sucked. Coming from one of the snowboarders they had to push the van out of the snow. Not only that, the week before they couldn’t even go snow boarding because of how bad the snowstorm made the roads.
What’s hot is the Micky D’s. priv for wearing your uniforms. Gosh that sound so good right now. How can you say no to free junk food? Keep up the good work at wearing your uniforms.
What's hot the Nascar is starting in February. I'm so excited, my race car is number 5. Driver Keyle Bush.
I hope he does good this year.
What's hot the Super Bowl is coming up this Sunday. Patriots are going to win I bet any thing! If they take the win for the Super Bowl it will be the fourth time. Heck yes, let's win some football guys!

Pink Floyd
Love the music that they made. It speaks to you and it is just great. Pink Floyd really inspires me. I would probably have to say that I like their CD Pink Floyd the Wall.
That is probably the best CD that they have, but that is all my opinion. People do not know good music until they have heard the classic Pink Floyd.
A lot of people do not understand their music. A lot to people think that it just doesn’t make sense, but if you really pay attention and listen to their lyrics then they would understand the band and they would probably enjoy the music a lot, just like I do.
Pink Floyd is a calm classical rock band, might I add that they were very popular in most of our parents days and they are still very popular now in our culture.
There is nobody else that sounds or has the style that this band has. And that is awesome. They started out as a psychedelic band, but are now one known as the greatest bands of all.......
You should check out this band, I think that you will really enjoy this groovy band. peace.
by Kennedy
I am doing a music review on W.A.S.P. They are the best band in the world.
My favorite song of theirs is The Idol. I really like this band, they rock! :]
Some of the best albums are… The Sting, and Holy Terror.
There are 4 people in this band. And their names are,
Blackie Lawless, Doug Blair, Mike Duda, and Mike Dupke.
So if you haven’t heard these guys. I think you should. They rock! I give this band 5 stars!

Book Review- A Child Called “It”
A child called it is now one of my favorite books. It teaches you that you can make life better even if you are the “It”. No matter how hard life gets, you can live up to what kind of person you want to be. A Child Called “It” is about a boy named David Pelzer, whose mother would abuse him and treat him like he was nothing. If you want to read a book about a boy who is trying to survive, I strongly suggest this one to anyone, any age.

I think biking is the best sport out there. Why I think this is because skateboarders get in the way and I think it takes a lot more talent to bike than it takes to skateboard. I think biking is great because my dad biked when he was a kid and because he could have been a pro biker, but he got in to drugs and went to prison. The best is Tim Fuzzy Hall he is one of Utah’s best bikers and he has his own bike shop it is called 50/50 Bike and Skate. I respect skateboarders, because it takes a lot of talent to skate and I have a lot of friends that skate and my brother is a skater and my cousin is a pro skater too. By Logan
Music review 2Pac Nu-Mixx Klassics 2 of Amerikas Most Wanted
He died in 1996 and he has 133 albums his latest cd is Pacs Life. 2Pac’s Death Row debut, All Eyes On Me was the fist double disc of original material in hip-hop history. It debuted at number one upon its February release and would be certified quintuple platinum by the fall. At the beginning of his career he was one of the best rappers of the ‘90s – he started out as a second-string rapper and dancer for Digital Underground. I think he is the best rapper there was even now he is the best. He sings about some real stuff that happens in real life that people can relate to. He has a lot of albums I haven’t listened to. I would like to buy every album he has. BY Matt
Opinion Article
I think tight jeans are better than baggy jeans.
Because,
1.They're the sickest pants ever!
2.They are not only for girls, but guys wear them too.
3.They have a huge variety of lots of cute jeans. [Plus they’re in style]
4.They go with pretty much everything.
5.If you skateboard it's easier to keep your pants up.
6. Teachers wouldn’t have to nag about kid’s pants sagging.

Linkin Park and Coheed and Cambria and Chiodos
Do any of you like Linkin Park or Coheed and Cambria or even Chiodos?
Well, it’s your lucky day, because they’re coming to town. Tickets are on sale as we speak and I don’t know about you, but I’m going for sure. It’s on Saturday March 8, 2008 at the E Center. If I were you and you have the money and you want to go I would most likely buy my tickets at Smith Tix, because sometimes they sell their tickets for cheap, but I can not promise you that they will, but in my eyes it’s worth trying. Another way of getting a better deal on tickets would be through the internet by ordering, but it might take a long time.

Cloverfield
This movie is in New York. They first made a surprise party for some dude that’s going to leave to China. One guy had a video camera and they record the whole time. Then the ground starts shaking and the power goes out and they turn on the tv and the new people say they don’t know what happened. Then they look outside and they see an explosion and then they go outside and they see the Statue of Liberty’s head flying and hits a building then it hits the floor and slides like five feet.

Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse
These books were very catching. Everyone told me that I had to read them, that they were so good, my friends kept bugging me. I finally read Twilight, it was a book that I could not put down for three days and I shut every one out, then I was thirsty for more. I read the other two books New Moon and Eclipse. And after I was done with the books I went crazy when they told me that her fourth book was coming out at the end of the fall and I went crazy. I couldn’t wait that long it was so good. So I read them all over again and I am currently on my 24th time reading the series, that’s how good they are. There is a book of Twilight on Edward’s perspective and there’s a movie coming out in 2010 and the guy who is playing Edward is so ugly it ruined Edward!!!!

I like Jibbs because of the beats he has in his music and of what he sings about. One of my favorite songs is Chain Hang Low. My favorite thing about him is he’s about my age and already making millions. I also like the song called I’m a Rhino. He was born in St Louis, Missouri.

Bowling for Soup is my favorite band and I think it should be everyones.

It’s sad, but it is a good song and I like it.

THE SUPER-BOWL
The Super-Bowl is this Sunday. The team that deserves to be there the most was knocked out of the playoffs by the New York Giants. The Dallas Cowboys deserve to be at the Super-Bowl, because they have come a long way from last year to get to the playoffs. The Dallas Cowboys were pretty much undefeated. They had it made; there was no reason the Cowboys should have lost. The Dallas Cowboys hold the world record for most Super-Bowl wins. (currently holding five) The Super-Bowl is not even worth watching without the Dallas Cowboys in it.

Video Game
Here is my opinion about video games. They waste your time to be with your family and friends. So put your video games away and go outside and play. Or play a game with your family. But don’t go home and sit and play video games. You will be happy that you went outside. You will be happy that you played a game, or you went outside and played.

Harry finally unveils the many secrets and questions that everyone was waiting and guessing about. However, I can honestly say I was happy that the series finally ended. It seemed that Rowling was repeating herself in her books when it comes to the story plot.

Music Review—STEVIE WONDER
Alright…I am choosing to write about my idol, Stevie Wonder. He is a blind, but amazing artist who I believe to have the most meaningful and beautiful lyrics and music ever. My favorite song by him is “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life.” That song has had just about everything to do with why my daddy and I have such a wonderful relationship. In the song it says that “you are the sunshine of my life and I’ll always stay around.” Those words have kept my faith in my daddy strong and I am so thankful for Stevie Wonder’s ability to do what he has done. I truly love him.

☺ Remembering your values, you are a good person! And no one can change that!
☺ Helping others with their treatment goals… if you are helping others you can help yourself!
What is so totally not hot is the following things:
☹ Showing cleavage, BIG TIME NO-NO!
☹ Bringing inappropriate things to our school.
☹ Bossing others around to get what you want, you won’t get anything besides losing your friends.

The volleyball tournament is what’s hot this week. According to my watch it's 10:05am, date of 1-30-08 and there is already 7 teams ready to play. Every one better be ready to get their game on. The teams look pretty good and transition is going for another winning strike. Will the other teams be able to take the win? Find out and keep the update on what’s hot and what’s not.
What’s not hot is the snow. I don’t care about the water we may be getting, I’m sick of the snow. Sad to say the forecast says ten more days to go with nothing but snow storms. That sucks. It's time to bring the sun back I’m too cold!
What’s hot the school council running for all kinds of things. Wow! What about Nick’s song, that was hotter than the sun on a hot summer day. I think all them kids did a great job with their speeches.
What’s not hot how the snow boarding kids got snowed in on their snowboarding trip. That must have sucked. Coming from one of the snowboarders they had to push the van out of the snow. Not only that, the week before they couldn’t even go snow boarding because of how bad the snowstorm made the roads.
What’s hot is the Micky D’s. priv for wearing your uniforms. Gosh that sound so good right now. How can you say no to free junk food? Keep up the good work at wearing your uniforms.
What's hot the Nascar is starting in February. I'm so excited, my race car is number 5. Driver Keyle Bush.
I hope he does good this year.
What's hot the Super Bowl is coming up this Sunday. Patriots are going to win I bet any thing! If they take the win for the Super Bowl it will be the fourth time. Heck yes, let's win some football guys!

Pink Floyd
Love the music that they made. It speaks to you and it is just great. Pink Floyd really inspires me. I would probably have to say that I like their CD Pink Floyd the Wall.
That is probably the best CD that they have, but that is all my opinion. People do not know good music until they have heard the classic Pink Floyd.
A lot of people do not understand their music. A lot to people think that it just doesn’t make sense, but if you really pay attention and listen to their lyrics then they would understand the band and they would probably enjoy the music a lot, just like I do.
Pink Floyd is a calm classical rock band, might I add that they were very popular in most of our parents days and they are still very popular now in our culture.
There is nobody else that sounds or has the style that this band has. And that is awesome. They started out as a psychedelic band, but are now one known as the greatest bands of all.......
You should check out this band, I think that you will really enjoy this groovy band. peace.

I am doing a music review on W.A.S.P. They are the best band in the world.
My favorite song of theirs is The Idol. I really like this band, they rock! :]
Some of the best albums are… The Sting, and Holy Terror.
There are 4 people in this band. And their names are,
Blackie Lawless, Doug Blair, Mike Duda, and Mike Dupke.
So if you haven’t heard these guys. I think you should. They rock! I give this band 5 stars!

Book Review- A Child Called “It”
A child called it is now one of my favorite books. It teaches you that you can make life better even if you are the “It”. No matter how hard life gets, you can live up to what kind of person you want to be. A Child Called “It” is about a boy named David Pelzer, whose mother would abuse him and treat him like he was nothing. If you want to read a book about a boy who is trying to survive, I strongly suggest this one to anyone, any age.

I think biking is the best sport out there. Why I think this is because skateboarders get in the way and I think it takes a lot more talent to bike than it takes to skateboard. I think biking is great because my dad biked when he was a kid and because he could have been a pro biker, but he got in to drugs and went to prison. The best is Tim Fuzzy Hall he is one of Utah’s best bikers and he has his own bike shop it is called 50/50 Bike and Skate. I respect skateboarders, because it takes a lot of talent to skate and I have a lot of friends that skate and my brother is a skater and my cousin is a pro skater too. By Logan
Music review 2Pac Nu-Mixx Klassics 2 of Amerikas Most Wanted
He died in 1996 and he has 133 albums his latest cd is Pacs Life. 2Pac’s Death Row debut, All Eyes On Me was the fist double disc of original material in hip-hop history. It debuted at number one upon its February release and would be certified quintuple platinum by the fall. At the beginning of his career he was one of the best rappers of the ‘90s – he started out as a second-string rapper and dancer for Digital Underground. I think he is the best rapper there was even now he is the best. He sings about some real stuff that happens in real life that people can relate to. He has a lot of albums I haven’t listened to. I would like to buy every album he has. BY Matt
Opinion Article
I think tight jeans are better than baggy jeans.
Because,
1.They're the sickest pants ever!
2.They are not only for girls, but guys wear them too.
3.They have a huge variety of lots of cute jeans. [Plus they’re in style]
4.They go with pretty much everything.
5.If you skateboard it's easier to keep your pants up.
6. Teachers wouldn’t have to nag about kid’s pants sagging.

Linkin Park and Coheed and Cambria and Chiodos
Do any of you like Linkin Park or Coheed and Cambria or even Chiodos?
Well, it’s your lucky day, because they’re coming to town. Tickets are on sale as we speak and I don’t know about you, but I’m going for sure. It’s on Saturday March 8, 2008 at the E Center. If I were you and you have the money and you want to go I would most likely buy my tickets at Smith Tix, because sometimes they sell their tickets for cheap, but I can not promise you that they will, but in my eyes it’s worth trying. Another way of getting a better deal on tickets would be through the internet by ordering, but it might take a long time.

Cloverfield
This movie is in New York. They first made a surprise party for some dude that’s going to leave to China. One guy had a video camera and they record the whole time. Then the ground starts shaking and the power goes out and they turn on the tv and the new people say they don’t know what happened. Then they look outside and they see an explosion and then they go outside and they see the Statue of Liberty’s head flying and hits a building then it hits the floor and slides like five feet.

Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse
These books were very catching. Everyone told me that I had to read them, that they were so good, my friends kept bugging me. I finally read Twilight, it was a book that I could not put down for three days and I shut every one out, then I was thirsty for more. I read the other two books New Moon and Eclipse. And after I was done with the books I went crazy when they told me that her fourth book was coming out at the end of the fall and I went crazy. I couldn’t wait that long it was so good. So I read them all over again and I am currently on my 24th time reading the series, that’s how good they are. There is a book of Twilight on Edward’s perspective and there’s a movie coming out in 2010 and the guy who is playing Edward is so ugly it ruined Edward!!!!

Music review
I like Jibbs because of the beats he has in his music and of what he sings about. One of my favorite songs is Chain Hang Low. My favorite thing about him is he’s about my age and already making millions. I also like the song called I’m a Rhino. He was born in St Louis, Missouri.
